Americans Still Waiting For Answers In Trump Assassination Attempt

By: Alex Oliveira | New York Post The American people deserve answers about what drove Thomas Crooks to attempt to assassinate President Trump, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Post on ‘Pod Force One’— after a damning report emerged suggesting the gunman left a trail of digital clues the FBI did not previously share with the public. “Those questions are definitely deserving of answers and I understand why the public wants those answers, and I believe the president does too,” Leavitt recently told Miranda Devine on Pod Force One. “It’s a good question, and it’s one I’d like to see the answer to — and I think all Americans would,” she added. Leavitt’s comments came as Devine dropped a bombshell report in The Post Monday about newly unearthe...

CBS Downplays Antifa Chaos at TPUSA Event, Calls Violent Protest ‘Mostly Peaceful’

By: Katie Daviscourt | The Post Millennial A mob of Antifa militants was captured on video setting off flares and smoke bombs, assaulting attendees, hurling objects at police, and issuing death threats. What CBS News Bay Area described as a "mostly peaceful" protest outside a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) event at UC Berkeley on Monday night was anything but, according to ample video footage and reporters on the ground. A mob of Antifa militants and far-left agitators mobilized to disrupt the final stop of TPUSA's "American Comeback Tour," setting off flares and smoke bombs, assaulting attendees, hurling objects at police, and issuing death threats. The violence forced riot police to intervene, and multiple arrests were made. Standing directly across from the ...

CU Boulder TPUSA Leader Attacked After Antifa “Hit List” Circulates Online

By Jonathan Turley | JonathanTurley.org As Democratic leaders like Rep. Dan Goldman (D, N.Y.) insist that Antifa does not exist as a group, two Antifa groups — Front Range Antifa and Colorado Springs Antifa — put out a hit list poster on a University of Colorado sophomore and leader in Turning Point USA. He was promptly attacked by a person in the signature Antifa black outfit on roller blades who used a hockey stick to mete out the punishment. According to a press release, Boulder Police are looking for a suspect accused of attacking a 19-year-old Turning Point USA student leader near the University of Colorado, Boulder on Thursday evening. The attacker is suspected to be an Antifa member and to have followed the victim in the premeditate...

CU Boulder Conservative Student Says Hockey Stick Attack Was Politically Motivated

By Olivia Doak | Boulder Daily Camera Turning Point USA chapter member says person followed him from Thursday night meeting, struck him over head A University of Colorado Boulder student says he was the victim of a politically motivated attack when he was hit over the head with a hockey stick by a man on in-line skates Thursday evening. Nathaniel Ellis, a CU Boulder sophomore who is the secretary of CU Boulder’s Turning Point USA chapter, said he was leaving a meeting on his bike when he was followed by someone on in-line skates with a hockey stick. Turning Point USA is a group that advocates for conservative politics on high school, college and university campuses. It was founded by Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed at Utah Valley University in September. Ellis...

FBI Probes Hunting Stand Found Near Trump’s Air Force One Landing Zone

By Lorenzo Prieto | The Daily Signal FBI Director Kash Patel reported on X that the U.S. Secret Service discovered on Thursday a “suspicious hunting stand near the [Air Force One] zone in Palm Beach.” The FBI is currently investigating this find as a potential threat to President Donald Trump. https://twitter.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/1979968163098788164 “Prior to the president’s return to West Palm Beach, USSS discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight line of the Air Force One landing zone,” Patel said on Fox News. “No individuals were located at the scene. The FBI has since taken the investigatory lead, flying in resources to collect all evidence from the scene, and deploying our cell phone analytics capabilities.” USSS Chief of Communication...

Has the Left Grown Too Comfortable With Political Violence?

By Michael Barone | Commentary, Washington Examiner Why are so many Democrats fond of wishing death on their opponents? That’s a question raised by two astonishing developments early this month. On Oct. 3, National Review’s Audrey Fahlberg revealed texts Jay Jones had sent, perhaps mistakenly, to a Democratic colleague, bemoaning the cordial remarks the then-Republican speaker was delivering after the death of a Democrat. “If these guys die before me,” he wrote, “I will go to their funerals to p— on their graves, Send them awash in something.” Prompted, he goes on. “Three people, two bullets. Gilbert” — the Republican speaker — “hitler, and pol pot. Gilbert gets two bullets in the head. Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you ...

Situational Outrage: How Democrats Normalize Political Violence

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Two recent House votes reveal a troubling trend about the current stance of one of America’s major political parties. In June, following the assassination of Minnesota legislator Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, the House acted swiftly and unanimously to condemn political violence. The vote was clear and bipartisan, with every member present indicating that killing a public official is beyond partisan bounds. Weeks later, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a resolution to condemn his murder and reject political violence split the House. Leadership urged support, but many Democrats voted no, abstained, or stayed away. Progressive leaders used the moment to disparage Kirk’s life and work. The split was so sharp that House cons...

When Justice Becomes Partisan, Freedom Dies

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Picture, for a moment, a reversal of roles. Suppose a radical on the right assassinated one of the most visible voices on the left in front of live cameras. Imagine if, after that horror, crowds of conservatives cheered, called for more, and excused the violence as justified. Picture further attacks - one shouting slogans, another storming a newsroom, a sniper targeting a Planned Parenthood clinic - and all of them part of an ongoing pattern.  Would there be any question how the left would react? Their calls for action would be immediate, sweeping, and relentless. This thought experiment matters because it exposes a double standard. Violence should not be judged by the ideology of the perpetrator. Violence is viole...

Antifa’s history is not what its defenders claim

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News The U.S.-based Antifa movement has embraced the label and symbols of Germany's "Antifaschistische Aktion" — a Communist group whose actions enabled the Nazis to take power. The modern iteration of the militant Antifa movement draws its name, symbolism, and inspiration from Antifaschistische Aktion — a project of the German Communist Party in the 1920s and 1930s which targeted center-left parties as the true fascist enemy and aided in the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. Antifaschistische Aktion was founded in 1932 by the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), which viciously opposed the more moderate leftist Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), dividing the opposition and directly contributing to the successful rise of the Nationa...

Texas ICE Attacker Had Roots in Liberal, Anti-Law Enforcement Family

By Matt Vespa | Townhall This will be another test to determine whether the legacy media’s power is truly waning. I think it is—they can no longer control narratives. The ones they trot out to distract us are easily dismissed as bunk. Still, we had another politically motivated attack in Texas yesterday, where Joshua Jahn, 29, opened fire on an ICE facility in Dallas, killing two detainees and injuring another before he committed suicide. No, he was not a right-winger. He was targeting federal vehicles. Jahn also had anti-ICE messaging on the ammunition. https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1970834192989827304 https://twitter.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/1970877754221498599 https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1970872533454111131 Now, his family roots have been revealed,...
